After a full day comparing MySQL to everything else in the field (Firefox from InterBase, ok ... but whatever happened to Paradox?!) it was like a drink of spring water to read this. (I lived in the hills of Cape Breton Island when it was time to raise kids ... I know the glory of a road-side spring. Makes the best apple-cider, you know?) And it got me reminiscing ... most of my cohort from the bus days got no sense at all, not a bit. (Or no heart, but that's too nasty to say.)

I'm glad BM thrives still. I hope there were some fine fire-circles. (I un-pawned my djembe 1.5 hours ago; synch.) I worry that Rainbow Family has suffered to the degree that my cohort has grown wealthy. (Hence the eccentric URL I've placed, rather than the more usual blog.)

drink deeply, as always

p.s. I recommend http://scottburkett.com on "Linear Entrepreneurship Sucks" ... is what I'm suffering, is what ... and not just me.

Flying is one of my greatest pleasures, but I have never done it in a glider, only by commercial airlines. It must be very thrilling controlling your own life up there.
